Orbx / Fullterrain

In 2005, John Venema began working on a personal Australian terrain project for 2004. Encouraged by an overwhelming response to previews on a small blog site, the project soon become known as Vista Australis, or VOZ. By the end oft the year, VOZ 0.99 made its debut and the series went on to become the most popular download for FS2004 with a thriving user community and a gathering of very talented designers and developers.

With the advent of MicrosoftÂ´s Flight Simulator X beta and its subsequent release, John saw the potential in this new engine to redefine the bounderies of ultra high resolution terrain scenery and airports - and Orbx was born. Initially a team worked on an FS2004 proof of concept YSTW Tamworth Airport to develop techniques and new technologies. In 2007, Orbx was formaly incorporated as a company and work began on a new FSX project which ultimately became known as FTX, with AU BLUE launched in March 2008.

Just Flight began life in 1995 as a company named The Associates. The mission (that they had chosen to accept) was to supply the newly-emerging flight simulation enthusiast market with the latest and best software. Top quality programs added to realistic prices and a generous dash of efficiency was clearly a recipe for success. Within three years the Just Flight name was firmly established as a brand and the company grew into the worldâs largest publisher of flight simulation software outside Microsoft. Each year we publish at least 15 new titles and we are consistently featured in the official games charts â not bad for a âniche publisherâ.
Our sister label, Just Trains, services the rapidly expanding simulated railway community. As well as expansions for Microsoftâs train simulator we have also published standalone train simulators including the award-winning Trainz Railway Simulator.

Just Flight has a reputation for the high quality of its products and this is because every stage of the publishing process is handled by people who are genuine enthusiasts. Everyone at Just Flight is passionate about flight simulation and this is what sets us apart from the crowd.
All our software, whether itâs developed in-house or by third party developers, is rigorously tested. At every stage of the development process we check and check again. Then we check once more! We are justly proud of the official licences we have obtained for many of our products. Among the licensors who have given Just Flight their seal of approval are the Royal Air Force, Lockheed Martin and the National Railway Museum. Although weâd agree that a picture is often worth a thousand words, we think that a proper printed manual is worth a lot more than a PDF. Every Just Flight boxed product contains a comprehensive manual thatâs produced to the same high standards as the rest of the package. As a publisher we realise that we have a huge responsibility to the developers whose work we publish. We are scrupulously fair in our dealings with our development partners and make a point of always paying royalties in a timely fashion.

Quality software built with passion is of little use if no-one is able to buy it. Fortunately, Just Flight has strong relationships with key retail groups such as Game and PC World in the UK. However, unlike civilization, it doesnât stop at the Channel. We have direct distributors in every major European country and many others across the globe. Our software is localised into French, German, Italian and even Japanese and we work closely with our overseas partners to ensure that our high standards of quality are maintained.
Most importantly, we value our end users â the customers who buy our software. Itâs true that everyone says this but at Just Flight we like to think we have a better idea than most companies of what our customers think of us. We have a very active public forum where the public can tell us exactly what they think about our software and our service. A visitor to our forum will soon realise that Just Flight is more than just a brand. Our customers are an integral part of our business and if their comments are anything to go by they certainly appreciate what we do.

Above all, we enjoy our work and our mission is to make sure that you enjoy it as well!
